    Marisa White

I’m constantly fascinated by how seemingly disparate elements in nature fit together so perfectly. Repeated patterns, expressed through Fibonacci’s golden ratio present themselves in the number of petals on a flower, the proportions of our bodies, and the spiral of a galaxy. I explore these patterns and connections attempting to gain a deeper understanding of the world and our place within it. This interconnectedness is depicted through the use of sacred geometry, the presence of water as a life-giving source, and the metaphysical undertones that speak to a greater consciousness at hand.

Marisa S White is best known for seamlessly compositing multiple photographs together, weaving personal narratives through surreal and fantastical imagery. Rich in metaphors, her art is dedicated to hyperbolizing emotions that aren’t always easy to express with words. Marisa was awarded the PX3 Prix de Photographie Bronze Award, Julia Margaret Cameron Gala Award for her series Certain These Clouds Go Somewhere, as well as an honorable mention in the IPA International Photography Awards. Her work is collected internationally, and has exhibited across the US and in Europe.
